Cops tend to hide usually around the curve, at the bottom of the hill, under an overpass columns, entrance ramps etc.

Also I try to find someone who's haulin ass and stay 3 car lengths behind him.
It's up to the individual, but many troopers don't bother with 9 mph over, and 9 is usually a break point (less fine than 10)....

I just feel like I got pulled over for a bullshit reason. The guy I passed was probably doing about 65, so I sped up to 75-80 just to pass him and that was it. Who on here does not drive 75 on a 65 mph highway?

The reason I got testy with the cop was because he was talking down to me and acting like a tool. I said I never speed, and then he goes oh well you were speeding, so now your a liar, why are you lying. I don't need some wise ass remark like that. Oh well it's whatever I guess I will drive exactly 65mph on he turnpike for no one while EVERY other car does at least 75. I'm sure all you guys do that as well...
You still don't get it do you? First off you did lie about "never" speeding when you apparently just admitted to speeding. Secondly, cops always talk down on people, their job is to be that ass and get you to say/do sth stupid. You sound like an entitled noob that just had his first encounter with the police. I can bet my life that you're not black either.

Plus you pulled the "you'll be seeing my lawyer" shit. Tell this story word for word to your lawyer and see what he says.

Just an FYI, a speed ticket is not a no-points ticket, (anywhere in the country). This is a common tactic for cops, they lie.

My only is guess is they do this to expedite the situation, write the ticket and be on their way.

I have lost count how many times a cop has told me this and it turned out to be false.

Yeah. If speeding tickets don't add points then why do I get lawyers to drop them down to parking violations? Lol

Not sure if serious but what state is this? How can a moving violation be dropped down to a parking violation. I can tell you in NY/NJ/PA that doesn't happen, lawyer or not.

...I said I never speed...
So you passed someone who was doing the speed limit. You broke the law and went faster than the limit. Then you tell the cop you never speed, even though that's what you got pulled over for?

I fail to see where the bullshit is.

I missed the part in my driver's manual that said "do not exceed the speed limit. Except to pass others abiding by it".

Yes, I do 75 constantly. But if I ever got pulled over for doing so, I wouldn't call it anything but what happened - getting caught speeding.

You are wrong. Cops lie? Here we go again. They are doing their jobs.

I was caught for 52 in a 25, and I was doing 52. The officer did not make it up like so many claim. He told me they would be lenient. I went to court and they changed it to 30 in a 25. It was zero points, I pulled my driving record 35 days later, and 13 mos. Later. It was not on my driving abstract.

Here is why it matters. In many states, you cannot get an insurance surcharge on your first infraction. Ah, but wouldn't you know insurance is aware of that? So rather than surcharge you, they remove your good driver discount, which still means you pay more.

Points are not for insurance, they are for dmv and when to suspend your license.

The first one I deserved. This one however was pretty ridiculous.

So I;m on the turnpike and I pass someone doing 80 then see the cop stopped way ahead of me, so I out on the brakes and slowed to 65. He puts on his lights and pulls me over.

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: I think I temporarily was over the speed limit to pass someone.
Cop: Yes, how fast do you think you were going temporarily.
Me: It couldn't have been more than 80.
Cop: Yup, I got you at 80.

Now I am almost 100% sure he didn't clock me at all because I saw him way ahead of me and slowed down in time. He obviously saw me slowing down and decided to pull me over.

So he comes back and gives me a no point ticket.

Me: Come on officer, I just passed someone, that's all and I never speed.
Cop: You never speed? You are a liar because you just sped. Why are you lying to me?
Me: Are you serious? You are pretty mean officer.
Cop: What! I'm just doing my job. I just went to McDonalds and they charged me 5 bucks. Why did they do that? Because they are doing their job! How dare you call me mean. You broke the law, blah blah blah
Me: Just give me my ticker and stop wasting my time, I will see you in court. I have the best lawyer in Philadephia.

At that point I was just pissed.

I mean seriously though, I dont need a f-cking lecture from some cop. I sped for a few seconds to pass someone and this is what happens. I honestly just hate cops.
Since I bought Peter, I've been pulled over 23 times. This is what I do, and they forget to even ask for a license.

When they walk to the car, I roll down a window and start singing what you gona do, what you gona do when they come for you...

Shirt gets pulled down a little.

I make sure I make them laugh, or feel like shit for picking me from the traffic, I'm always the only one doing speed limit since I hear them a mile away. It's always the same story, they stare at the car, look at me, go like holy shit that's a girl, and then they pull back and lights go off.

If nothing else works, I pull out my both licenses and the Finn one always gets me off. "Is it true you guys have to train and have a training license for two years before you get a full one?"

Whining in pointless. Buy a flashy car and they will get interested. You either face the music, get radar detector or shut up and play by the rules.

So you were doing at least 10mph over and the cop gave you a no point fail to obey traffic control device.... and you're pissed? You should be kissing his bean bag. If i got a no point fine every time i was stopped for speeding, i'd be speeding like idgaf.

You handled that very maturely. I'm sure the cop felt bad for giving you that ticket as he was walking back to his car.

Don't worry brah. You'll get em next time. F*ck da police, coming straight from the underground. I'm a young homie and I got it bad cuz I'm brown.
